“This is an exciting event for our viewers in Phoenix,” said Azteca America Chairman Luis J.

This is a premier event for our network and is likely to attract well over one million viewers across the nation.”

“Mexico soccer is hot, and offers a springboard to other sports properties like boxing, sports commentary and Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts,” added Mr. Echarte. “We’re pleased to offer these stellar products to DIRECTV subscribers in Phoenix.”
